This is a contentious one, and even though our piece from yesterday attempted to rally support for Cyriel Dessers, Antonio Colak is someone who genuinely isn’t liked in Italy and shouldn’t have left.Do the Rangers really want to try to sign him again?
Out of his 12 appearances, he has only started 3 in Italy. It is evident that neither the team he plays for nor Serie B is a good fit for him. While Rangers under Giovanni van Bronckhorst undoubtedly had a setup that suited their talents, he does have three goals.
Parma signed Colak for £2.5 million and has largely kept him on the bench this season – he’s gone on record claiming he didn’t want to go and believed Rangers would be his forever team.
And his spell at Ibrox was absolutely among the strongest of his career. In Croatia, Sweden and Scotland his goals hauls were superb. 51 in 90 in Croatia, 22 in 41 in Sweden, and 18 in 39 at Ibrox.
The guy is the most natural goalscorer seen at Ibrox pretty much for years, but The Mick couldn’t wait to get rid of him.
Would Philippe Clement be interested in bringing him back? Would Rangers?
Many fans would favor him over Cyriel Dessers, but Rangers cannot justify the Croat coming back if Dessers remains. Much would depend on his moving on.
And of course, Clement rates Danilo highly, and it appears that the Brazilian will be the number one striker going forward, which is no bad thing.
But Colak was just happy here, and when he had real chances, he took them. – let’s not forget at one point he had 7 goals in 7 then 13 in 14 appearances. He was the most on-form hitman in the UK, aside from Erling Haaland.
For some reason, some fans just completely went off him as a result of Rangers’ diabolical Champions League campaign, and he never recovered their favor. Fickle fans who don’t have a clue, quite honestly The same ones wanted Jon McLaughlin as first-choice goalie…
